Merge milestone/v1.14-refinement — v1.14 complete (NFR Refinement: bug fixes, security, stubs, tests, docs; 20 phases + final; tag v1.13.24)
v1.14 NFR Refinement milestone complete. 20 execution phases (P1-P20) +
1 final (P21). All P1/P2 backlog from v1.11 review resolved. Security
posture hardened (swallowed errors, account ID externalized, IAM scoped,
schema validation, credential hygiene). Stubs resolved (kyverno --kube-
version removed). 7 untested scripts gained coverage. Documentation
synced (ARCHITECTURE v1.11-v1.14 addenda, stale @v1.6-1.9 -> @v1.13,
GRILL G-005/G-008 resolved, COST.md window extended, D-083 deferral
recorded). Platform VPC parameterized.

561 tests pass (was 528 at v1.13.2; +33). 22/22 capabilities Verified.
6 grill binding decisions (G-101..G-106) applied. 1 escalation (E-001)
auto-resolved at full autonomy (D-101).

ACDL Modules

Reusable building blocks for cloud infrastructure. Each module is self-documented with a README.md following the template.

How the modules work

There are two kinds of module:

  • Primitives — a single cloud resource or a small group of related resources (e.g. a VPC with subnets and routing). Each primitive has an interface.json declaring its inputs and outputs, and a README.md in plain language.
  • Modules — a pattern that references multiple primitives to deploy a complete stack (e.g. an ECS Fargate microservice). Each module has a composition.json declaring its children and wires.

The engine adapter (adapters/terraform/adapter.py) compiles a module instance to infrastructure. Each module's README documents which resources it creates.

Primitives

Module What it creates README
s3 aws_s3_bucket — a single S3 bucket README
vpc aws_vpc + aws_subnet + aws_route_table + aws_internet_gateway — VPC with subnets and routing README
ecs-cluster aws_ecs_cluster — ECS Fargate cluster README
ecs-service aws_ecs_task_definition + aws_ecs_service — Fargate service with task definition README
iam-role aws_iam_role — IAM role with assume-role policy README
alb aws_lb + aws_lb_target_group + aws_lb_listener — Application Load Balancer README
ecr aws_ecr_repository — ECR container image repository README
cloudfront aws_cloudfront_distribution + aws_cloudfront_origin_access_control — CloudFront distribution with S3 origin via OAC README
waf aws_wafv2_web_acl — WAFv2 Web ACL (CloudFront-scoped) README
rds aws_db_instance — Relational database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.) with multi-engine support README
kms-key aws_kms_key — Customer-managed KMS key with rotation enabled (per-stack CMK) README
uptime aws_ecs_service — Uptime-kuma monitoring on ECS Fargate with alert channels README

Modules

Module What it references README
microservice 6 primitives (vpc, cluster, ecr, iam-role, alb, ecs-service) README
static-assets 3 primitives (s3, cloudfront, waf) README

Registry

Module versions are tracked in registry.json. Both primitives and modules are registered.

Template

New modules should use README-TEMPLATE.md as their starting point.

Module patterns (roadmap)

The current composition.json mechanism is a thin pattern layer. A future redesign will let a consumer dynamically create a module directly from the contract file (an agentic "composition" flow). That is on the roadmap, not implemented today.
